Mediacom has this episode's description but no title, so I wasn't able to help out this week.
I think the title comes from someone making a mistake calling it "nuts and bullets" when the correct term is actually "nuts and bolts." A quote from Team Tattoo maybe? :lol:
My guess would be that J/T might UTurn C/S..they seem to have a rivalry going...as per Steph comment re them weaseling in..
Looking again at this cap...is the picture Brook and Claire??

Can two different perpetrating teams U-Turn the same victims? *evil*
I hate to admit it, but I might like Jill and Thomas for laughing evilly while posting their U-Turn target. But then, I might hate them afterwards for doing it to Brook and Claire. :lol:
Here's wishing that Brook and Claire is ahead of them so that it won't be used. (Okay, this is now specs. Sorry)
No, Jill & Thomas U-Turn Brook & Claire. Their picture is already up on the board by the time Nick & Vicki are choosing their own victims.I hate to admit it, but I might like Jill and Thomas for laughing evilly while posting their U-Turn target.

It's probably N/V that U-turn B/C. J/T hate C/S now and they looked like they were doing a "hate U-turn" by their expressions. From the way they act and what Nick said they are doing a "whoever is behind us U-turn."

Nooooo! Poor Brook and Claire :'(
It sure looks like Chad and Stephanie to me.
It sure looks like Chad and Stephanie to me.
I actually can't see why Thomas & Jill would U-Turn Brook & Claire over Chad & Stephanie after last night. The way I see it, they U-Turn Chad & Stephanie and because Brook & Claire are behind them, Nick & Vicki decide to use their U-Turn on Brook & Claire. The picture we see of Vicki holding her team card may be her picking it up, not putting it back.
Nuff with the U-Turn, y'all. :lol:
Hmm, I remember there was one user here in RFF who lives in Bangladesh. She might help us in ID'ing the locations, right? (But I think I haven't seen her for a while though) :(
Guys, I think this is the most logical U-TURN explanation i can think of, YET.
See the U-TURN (1) and U-TURN (2) and then another COURTESY OF (2) on the photo above?
So this means ->
U-TURN (1) is a BLIND U-TURN, don't need to put up COURTESY OF photo
Hence,
Jill and Thomas U-TURN Brooke and Claire
Then Nick and Vicki arrived, with Brooke and Claire's photo on and decided to U-TURN (Chad and Stephanie?), but as the second U-TURN is a NORMAL U-TURN, they have to put their photo up.
Hmm, don't know if i'm right.
I've been reading this entire thing and just wondering. For all you know Jill and Thomas could have U Turned Brooke and Claire just by simply seeing them close by. At that point you know atleast you hit someone with one. We can see that when Jill and Thomas get to the U turn it's empty and when Nick and Vicki get there Brooke and claire are up so I'd assume Jill and Thomas turned Brooke and Claire.

Now that you say that I think we are both slightly wrong. Here: http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,23563.msg572969.html#msg572969, you can see that there is a photo on the right. So it is not Blind, however that pic is not another yield photo like I thought but Jill and Thomas' courtesy photo. In the cap of Jill laughing here: http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,23563.msg572961.html#msg572961, it is visible.

The pictures used on the U-Turn board are usually the same ones posted on the CBS site.
http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race/
Based on the CBS pictures, only 2 teams have on pink - Brooke/Claire & Chad/Stephanie. It could be either team because the angle on the sign is so poor.
(My last comment about the U-Turn x 2. :lol:)
I believe the editors gave us a foreshadow about what's to come in the U-turn. My cents is to Jill and Thomas U-Turning Chad and Stephanie, for "stealing their first place", while Nick and Vicki (esp Nick) bummed to see Brook and Claire in last leg and hence, they U-Turn them. (Please don't comment. :neener:)
(Okay, I'm nuff with this U-Turn, can we just make a new thread for this U-turn because, I bet, this thread is just gonna be full of U-Turn speculation and ideas. :lol:)
Using Photoshop and the "Curves" magic, I have found the elusive first courtesy space.
I don't know if this is real or even important. There is flag on the back of one of the rickshaws in this picture in the lower right corner. Maybe they have to use them?

B/C's bio pic is still the only on that has pink on the right as you are looking at it. However, I still think that the pink in the pic on the board looks to be towards the bottom right corner, this does not fit any of the bio pics. Thoughts?I think the picture on the U-Turn board is Brook & Claire's from when they were still in Reno and hadn't left for the race yet. I can barely see them wearing the same clothes from their pre-race interview.

I still had TAR on my DVR, so I checked the coming attractions and the small box with a 1 is clearly visible just to the side of the large box with a 1. Unfortunately, the small box is entirely within the black arrow and barely visible. So 2 regular U-turns. J/T > B/C, but I couldn't tell if or who N/V U-Turn.

CBS ANNOUNCES THE CAST FOR THE NEXT INSTALLMENT OF "THE AMAZING RACE," WHICH PREMIERES WITH A SPECIAL 90-MINUTE DEBUT ON SUNDAY, SEPT. 26
11 Teams Will Travel Over 32,000 Miles, Spanning Four Continents and 30 Cities, with Inaugural Visits to Bangladesh, Ghana and a Trek Deep into the Arctic Circle(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2017/contestants/TAR17castbanner.jpg)

CBS announced today the 11 new teams competing in the next installment of THE AMAZING RACE, which premieres with a special 90-minute debut on Sunday, Sept. 26 (8:30-10:00 PM, ET/PT). Phil Keoghan is the host.

Okay i need to go get a pair of specs or what cause i really don't see it. But whatever it is, i am sure all of you see it and 2 regular U-TURNs it is! :tup:
Here's the bottom line on the U-turn business: we know that Chad and Stephanie get U-turned because we know that if someone is eliminated this time it is them.
I've kinda always lurked here and find it amazing how you all can find all this stuff! With a double U-Turn though I kind of think it's going to be a double leg instead of a NEL.
keep up the good work because it's fantastic!

Looks like it could be the one made from Tok Doi (sour yogurt)?? It has the same light color.

Don't know what it's made with, but could it be something to do with sugar cane? There is a Bangladesh Sugarcane Research Institute...
What about what I thought earlier about jute? I can't see it being a juice though...
There's something that resembles an Argentine flag at the beginning of the promo, and I thought I saw a Brazilian flag behind Phil. This article (http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE65D2NQ20100614) may explain it: the area was in the grips of World Cup fever during June.

It is sugarcane juice! They use the rolling compressor to extract the juice out of the sugarcane. :)
They are pressing sugar cane to get the juice, which is why Chad has the cans......they have to get a certain amount of juice. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they are required to go multiple places to get multiple ingredients for the drink they have to prepare. All in those boats......shopping on the water.
I am going to assume the brick carry and stacking job is harder but much faster and all the teams do it. Since only C/S and B/C.........they do the U turn detour too.
I think the RB is to fix a rickshaw, so it can take you someplace. Jill/Thomas and Nick/Vick are seen riding in rickshaws with smiles, while Claire, Jill and Chad watch their partners "fix" rickshaws. I can see Nick finishing this first...since he is a motorcycle rider back home.
I was thinking along these same lines, don't forget that Nat and Kat do the sugar cane too.

It looks like they are getting the bricks off of the boats too, I wonder how far they have to walk for each trip back and forth. By the way Chad is acting it seems like they are doing the bricks as their "U-turn task."

It looks like they collect the bricks from a boat and then dump the bricks into some type of conveyor system. I suspect they reload the bricks at the top of the conveyor system and transport them to the stacking area.

Drinking sugarcane juice can't be good for a diabetic.
The producers probably made it so only one team member needs to drink (but two may do it to finish faster), like when they changed the task at the Swedish theme park because Big Easy wouldn't fit in a ride.

That's why Kat is drinking it.

Good catch! I checked and none of the other intro video shots are even close.
Who's ready to bet?
Nat & Kat decide not to U-turn
Jill & Thomas u-turned Brook & Claire
Nick & Vicki u-turned Chad & Stephanie
First team arrived at the pit stop is Nat & Kat
Last to pitstop : Chad & Stephanie
The team will wear different outfits though, but the background will be much the same. Like this one.
I don't know how to do screencaps, but I just went back and checked the credits.
The background of the quick Brooke and Claire pose is a pink tree behind Brooke. They're getting UTurned by Jill and Thomas.
The background behind Nat and Kat's title shot is OR monitors/equipment and it's grayish blue.
The background behind Chad and Stephanie's title shot is blue on blue sea/sky behind them.

Thank you eamon, for doing what this poor technologically-challenged n00b couldn't! :)
I like the Nat/Kat theory because it doesn't make sense to me that Chad/Stephanie would get UTurned before them, I think it's just a case of Nick/Vicky only having one team behind them and that's Jerk and co.
I don't think they'll win this next leg. They were with Brook & Claire and Chad & Stephanie, so I think they'll all get to the U-Turn around the same time, or Nat & Kat will get far enough ahead of Nick & Vicki, at least, not to worry about getting U-Turned. Or they'll be behind them, and Nick & Vicki will just U-Turn Chad & Stephanie out of panic.Who's ready to bet?

Are you sure she's not just dropping them?

There is no conveyor system so she's dropping them on accident. There is a 45 second video on Youtube showing a guy balancing bricks on his head and walking off the boat to transport them.

Nice find to back up what I was saying, that's exactly what they are doing. The poster of that video said that is a common sight in Bangladesh. I tend to think that that detour choice is the harder one.
They wish they had that guy :lol:

They're going to wish they had him and some shorbot after working so hard! It's the harder choice but most likely the fastest since J/T choose it.

No, it's not most likely the fastest choice because J\T choose it. J\T are bad at choosing tasks.

They do reach the U-Turn before B/C and C/S, and they are pretty efficient too (as much as I'd hate to say it....in Russia 1 especially). If it's not the fastest choice, then there will have to be issues with pressing the sugarcane that sets the other teams behind. I can see N/V choosing the bricks too since it's right up their alley :D (in a good way of course!). So does the RB come before or after the Detour?

Really hard to judge that leg. J/T were not delayed by the bad music judge as the other teams that did the music task were. They did finish the film detour first....but Michael/Kevin beat them to the RB and finished that before J/T. If not for Kevin's stubborness....they would have probably finished 2nd on a flawed leg. J/T are pretty inefficient to me. They got lost in Kiruna and lost contact with all the other teams, which forced them to use the Express Pass. They switched detours at the circus, twice. They are good team, but lots more helter skelter than the Lady Docs. As far as the edits we are seeing, J/T seem to me to waste a lot of energy. Lots more than the Docs.
Does the RB come before or after the Detour? The three teams shown at the RB choose the same Detour option, so I kinda think it comes first. N/K may get a solid 3rd with J/T and N/V in the front.

I think the RB is first and I think, come Sunday, we will see all 5 teams there at the same time. We see Claire, Jill and Chad....so that means that Thomas, Brooke and Stephanie are doing it. Then we have Chad's quote harassing Nat while she is doing it. That leaves Nick/Vick....since it doesn't involve heights, I am assuming that Nick does it and with his experience with he motorcycle, he might even finish first......who would have thought????
I have said a long time back that I think this leg is a NEL......I still feel the same way, with the introduction of the W-Turn.
Hi ....I think Chad has Dabbawalla bags( is a tradition of Mumbai)
Sorry :ascared
That leaves Nick/Vick....since it doesn't involve heights, I am assuming that Nick does it and with his experience with he motorcycle, he might even finish first......who would have thought????Would Nick really do it? It'd be his last one if he did.
Errps I sure hope not! I would totally scream at the tv if it really happened. All the suspense and intense competition between 2 teams to not get eliminated... only to end with a NEL (:;)

That's what I think too. It doesn't make sense to end that way. Besides they like the format of the NEL right before the final elimination.

Yup, that appears to be the trend from the past few seasons! I hope CBS didn't decide to change it this season, cause frankly, I don't really like seeing C/S and N/V on the show that much. :P
I think you're right: I can't find an exact match, but the elements (http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/0ASG4lAxOCzO4VERBtAnzg) are close enough. Thanks :tup:

It would be nice if they changed it up somewhat with the final NEL at the F5, thus, making everyone work harder for the prize.
I agree, too. But maybe in a later season. With a Double U-Turn coming up, though? No. Should be elimination. No point in making all this drama and tension for nothing.Errps I sure hope not!

The only reason you don't want a NEL is it would make all your predictions on all the TAR boards worthless. You would have to eat crow in too many places.

We have confirmed spoiler sighting of Jill/Thomas in the Muscat airport at midnight of June 9/10, which would indicate an extended pit stop.......From what Mallory said in post elimination interviews, they checked in at midnight on evening of June 8/9, just a few minutes after Nat and Kat. So expect Nat/Kat to be about 5 hours behind C/S and J/T in leaving the pit stop in Muscat.
You see, I think TPTB are trying this double U-Turn because they are going to have this leg be a NEL which none of the teams would be expecting.
It heightens the drama and energy for the remainder of the Race because teams will know they have no room for error after this leg; and it will rack up the killer fatigue to near-records heights.

That, and it makes everyone WAYYY more cutthroat and prone to sabotaging each other....which isn't a bad thing.
No one wants this to be a NEL.

Since you have only been a member here for 18 days, I will give you the benefit of doubt.
If you had been here after Amanda and Kris were eliminated on a U-turn leg in TAR 13 or Joe/Heidi were eliminated on a U turn leg in TAR 16......and heard all the howling and moaning about how unfair it was........maybe you could see the BEAUTY in having a double U turn leg and no elimination.........
And how do you know that "No one" wantsi t to be a NEL.....that presumes you know what everyone wants, which you don't. It's not really "wanting", it's about predicting/forecasting/speculating it. It seems more like you don't want it to be a NEL and that is okay too.
It's fully possible that it may be an NEL - CBS has learnt to change things after so many years! However, based on all the deductions made for the F4 and F3, I just hope it isnt :P Oh yeah, so it appears that there is a bunching point for the teams, right? I think N/K were pretty far behind all the teams after the leg in Oman. Also I wonder if N/K are in front of the teams when they choose who to U-Turn... I thought they'd be viewed as threats :P

P.S I just realised why other RFFers use the term 'W-Turn'. :-[
With all the teams being at the RB at the same time, there really must be a HoO. That is the only way that Nat and Kat could catch up.
As far as the NEL......I personally could give a rat's anatomy whether it is Leg 9 or 10. Leg 10 has been the standard pattern, since they went to 12 leg races. But the NELs this race have all been earlier than before. Hence my thoughts on why it's the next one, coupled with the new U turn. Plus it makes good numerology.....3,6,9
Now I will just wait till Sunday to see what happens......
In Bangladesh, it is an elimination leg. During in Hong Kong, is a final non elimination leg and finally top 3 will be revealed during the race in Seoul. The final three will bring a great competition between the finalist, and the winner in this season is going to be memorable to the race history.
p/s: Just enjoy the show. =)
Sorry :ascared
I still think there may be a possibility for a double leg instead of a NEL. It was like in season 14 with the final four? I'd think it'd be more dramatic if the W-turned teams were fighting for last only to get to Phil and him saying that the leg isn't over and everyone was still racing. It'd still put them in horrible placing compared to the other teams but they'd still have a shot. I think that might be more life draining for the teams if it were that way...
Also relevant for the start time is the fact that there are NO other AFC games that could be televised in the 4pm time slot. All other AFC games on Sunday are at 1pm. This means there will be no potential delay after the completion of Colts vs. Patriots in the vicinity of 7pm EST.
ashkip, there's no guarantee that even in regulation time, the Indianapolis-New England game will finish by 7:00 pm ET -- The game doesn't start until 4:15, and games that are completed in 2 hours, 45 minutes are rare.
We should have had another promo by now...can someone take a look around please?
Quick question....we haven't had a u-turn on the race so far, right? If we have, we can go back and watch to see the profile pics they are using.

I will sure be glad when this episode airs........I am so tired of the CBS promo. I am sick of hearing Chad misquote Alfred Lord Tennyson over and over...........its driving me nuts.
